In order to increase the precision and effectiveness of power system analysis and fault diagnosis, this study aims to assess the power systems in the energy sector while utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) and environmental social governance (ESG). First, the ESG framework is presented in this study to fully account for the effects of the power system on the environment, society, and governance. Second, to coordinate the operation of various components and guarantee the balance and security of the power system, the CNN-BiLSTM power load demand forecasting model is built by merging convolutional neural network (CNN) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM). Lastly, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to introduce and optimize the deep belief network (DBN), and a power grid fault diagnostic model is implemented using the PSO technique and DBN. The model’s performance is assessed through experimentation. The outcomes demonstrate how the CNN-BiLSTM algorithm significantly increases forecasting accuracy while overcoming the drawback of just having one dimension of power load data. The values of 0.054, 0.076, and 0.102, respectively, are the root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). Effective processing of large-scale nonlinear data is achieved in the area of power grid fault diagnosis, resulting in prediction accuracy of 96.22% and prediction time of only 129.94 s. This is clearly better than other algorithms and increases fault prediction efficiency and accuracy. Consequently, the model presented in this study not only produces impressive results in fault diagnosis and load demand forecasting, but also advances the field of power system analysis in the energy industry and offers a significant amount of support for the sustainable and intelligent growth of the energy industry.

Application of ESG framework in power system analysis
ESG framework plays a vital role in the energy industry, covering three aspects of environment, society and governance, and has become a key indicator for enterprises and industries to evaluate sustainability and social responsibility 21,22 .In the energy industry, especially in power system analysis, ESG framework plays a guiding and evaluating role, as displayed in Table 1.
In Table 1, the application of ESG framework in power system is mainly reflected in three aspects: environment, society and governance.In terms of environment, ESG framework pays attention to sustainability by evaluating the impact of power system on the environment.Through the ESG framework, energy companies can more comprehensively evaluate the environmental impact of their power production methods, thus promoting a more environmentally friendly and sustainable energy production model.In the social aspect, ESG framework also pays attention to the impact of power system on society, such as employee welfare, the impact of local communities and social responsibility.In power system analysis, social indicators may include the implementation of social responsibility projects, employee welfare and safety measures.By considering these factors, the social sustainability of power system can be evaluated and the development of social justice and responsibility can be promoted.In terms of governance, this involves the effectiveness of regulatory compliance and decision-making transparency.Through these indicators, the good governance of power system can be evaluated.
Therefore, the application of ESG framework in power system analysis not only helps to evaluate the sustainability and environmental friendliness of power system, but also promotes the development of energy industry towards more social responsibility and governance norms.In order to support the more standardized and effective operation of the power system in the energy industry, the deep learning algorithm is further introduced by this study to anticipate the power demand and fault detection in the power system.

The one-dimensional nature of power load data significantly restricts the neural network's capacity to extract the full range of information from power load series.Implicit qualities include the link between power load data and time series data continuity.CNN 23 has the ability to map one-dimensional data into multi-dimensional data, completely utilize the information contained in power load series, and enhance the features of restricted data.CNN is therefore able to adequately represent the regional features of power load data.Meanwhile, power load data sequentially records power consumption based on a predetermined time interval and sampling frequency.Therefore, this study further introduces BiLSTM algorithm 24 to extract the features of power load data.Eventually, a CNN-BiLSTM-based model structure for power load demand forecasting is built, as seen in Fig. 1, including input, feature extraction, prediction, output, and network optimization layers.
In Fig. 1, the power load demand forecasting model mainly consists of two parts: feature extraction and data forecasting.After preprocessing the data in the power system, CNN extracts the feature information sequence from the pre-processed time series.CNN module uses two convolution layers and ReLU as the activation function to make the network more trainable.features from data, such as load fluctuation and trend.In power load demand forecasting, CNN model is used for feature extraction, which transforms the original one-dimensional power load data into multi-dimensional feature sequence, so that the subsequent forecasting model can better understand and process the data.

Brief introduction and working principle of CNN-BiLSTM model
BiLSTM model is composed of forward and backward LSTM networks, which captures the context of sequence data respectively.BiLSTM can capture the long-term dependence in sequence data to better understand the time dynamic characteristics of data.Through the forward and backward LSTM networks, BiLSTM can consider the data of the current moment and the data of the past moment at the same time to predict the future trend.In power load demand forecasting, BiLSTM model is used for sequence forecasting, receiving the feature sequence extracted from CNN model, and forecasting the future power load demand by learning the time dependence of sequence data.
CNN-BiLSTM model combines the feature extraction ability of CNN with the sequence modeling ability of BiLSTM, and makes full use of the spatial and temporal dynamic characteristics in time series data.Through this integration, the model can predict the future power load demand more accurately and improve the accuracy and stability of the prediction.The model integrating CNN and BiLSTM can better capture the spatial and temporal characteristics of data in power load demand forecasting and improve the accuracy of forecasting.The features are extracted by CNN model and passed to BiLSTM model for sequence modeling.The model can better understand the complexity of power load data and make more reliable predictions.In a word, by integrating the advantages of CNN and BiLSTM, CNN-BiLSTM model can process time series data more effectively, and improve the accuracy and stability of forecasting, thus playing an important role in energy industry.
When using CNN network to extract the features of the power data in the original power system, preprocess it first.If the original power data is as shown in Eq. ( 1): Let T be the length of time series, that is, predict the ith point and take the previous T points as input, then the data set can be expressed as Eq. ( 2): i can be expressed as Eq. ( 3): Equation ( 4) serves as the conversion function, and the data is processed using the min-max standardization method to increase the model algorithm's operational efficiency.
x i refers to raw data and x j ′ refers to standardized data.
A dropout layer is added between CNN feature extraction block and BiLSTM sequence prediction to prevent over-fitting.Then, BiLSTM network is used to effectively process the input characteristic information sequence data, which can capture the dependence between data information in power system.
The features x t and h t−1 of data information in the power system are input into the BiLSTM model, and the input data are obtained by sigmoid function, and the coefficients f t , i t are input by activation function, and the temporary unit variable ct is obtained.The calculation process is shown in Eqs. ( 5)-( 7): σ and tanh are activation functions, and the former is sigmoid function.W f , W i , W C , W o are weight parameters.h t−1 refers to the output of the previous neuron.C t refers to the cell state at time t.h t refers to the hidden layer output at time t, and b refers to the bias vector.Then, the hidden state h t at t can be expressed as Eqs.( 8)-( 10): W and b respectively represent the relative weights of the door unit and the memory cell.c t and h t respectively represent the state of the memory cell and the hidden state of LSTM at t. → and ← represent forward data feature prediction and reverse data feature prediction respectively. (1) (5) In the process of back propagation, the parameters in the model should be updated in the direction of the fastest gradient decline.Assume that the network parameter is θ , the learning rate is η .The function represented by the network is J(θ) .The maximum gradient of the function to θ at this time can be expressed as ∇ θ J(θ ) , so the updating equation of parameters can be expressed as Eq. ( 11): In order to further optimize the problem that the loss function has too large swing amplitude in the update of the model and accelerate the convergence speed of the function, RMSProp algorithm uses the differential square weighted average for the gradient of weight W and offset b, as shown in Eqs. ( 12)-( 15): s dW and s db refer to the weighted average of exponential squares initialized to zero, respectively, and β refers to momentum.
In this model, the pseudo code of CNN-BiLSTM algorithm applied to power load demand forecasting is shown in Fig. 2.
In Fig. 2, firstly, CNN-BiLSTM algorithm receives raw power data as input, and outputs the prediction result of power load demand.In the data preprocessing stage, the original data is preprocessed to prepare for the subsequent feature extraction.Then, CNN model is used to extract features from the preprocessed data, and a CNN feature extraction function is defined to ensure that the model can effectively extract important spatial features from the data.Then, BiLSTM model is used to predict the sequence of features extracted from CNN to capture the time dynamic features in the data, and this process is realized by the defined BiLSTM sequence prediction function.Finally, RMSProp algorithm is used to train and optimize the model to improve the performance and prediction accuracy of the model.After the whole process, the algorithm gives the prediction results of future power load demand.Through this algorithm flow, CNN-BiLSTM model can be effectively applied to accurately predict the power load demand, which provides important support and guidance for the management and operation of the energy industry.

Application of DBN in power system fault prediction and analysis
At present, with the concept of smart grid put forward, the establishment of intelligent information operation and maintenance platform store a lot of data, and the large-scale access of distributed power sources increases the nonlinearity and uncertainty of data, which makes the fault analysis of power system more difficult.Aiming at the fault analysis of power system under the new situation, this study proposes a power grid fault diagnosis model based on PSO algorithm and DBN, as shown in Fig. 3.In Fig. 3, firstly, power system fault data is input, and the input data is denoised by Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) 25 .Then, the parameters of DBN 26 and PSO algorithm 27 are initialized.The model takes the accuracy of fault prediction as the fitness function of PSO algorithm to guide it to search for individual and global optimal solutions.PSO algorithm constantly updates the position and velocity of particles to converge towards the optimal solution step by step.If the requirements are satisfied, the global optimal value-which denotes the ideal number of neurons in the hidden layer-is produced by iterative evaluation.In the event that the termination condition is not satisfied, the PSO algorithm will go on finding the optimal architecture while updating the particle's position and speed.The optimal individual value, or the ideal number of neurons in the hidden layer, is sent into the DBN model for training once the termination condition is satisfied.Finally, DBN training is completed and the identification results of power grid faults is output.
In this model, the fault parameter estimation is defined as Eq. ( 16): is the i-th fault parameter when calculating k-1 at time k.W i k , V i k are the weight matrix of the output layer and hidden layer of the i-th DBN.y k is the input vector of the DBN, and g is the nonlinear mapping realized by the DBN.During training, the Lyapunov function 28 changes as shown in Eq. ( 17): k max , the Eq. ( 18) is defined: Power system fault data VMD denoising Initialize DBN parameters

Input the optimal individual extremum into the DBN model www.nature.com/scientificreports/If the condition satisfying the convergence of the DBN is �L k < 0 , then > 0 .The following equation can be obtained from Eq. ( 18).If Eq. ( 19) is satisfied in the DBN, the network model can be kept stable and convergent, thus the state and output of the power system can be predicted.
The fault diagnosis and prediction framework can be divided into the following steps: (1) Data preprocessing.Input power system fault data, which may include power grid operation status, equipment sensor data, etc. Variational Modal Decomposition (VMD) is used to denoise the data, so as to reduce the interference noise in the data and improve the robustness and accuracy of the subsequent model.updates the position and speed of particles to find the optimal parameter configuration of neural network.Through iterative optimization, PSO algorithm guides particles to search in the direction of global optimal solution.(4) PSO algorithm termination conditions.PSO algorithm will continue to iterate and update until the termination conditions are met, such as the maximum number of iterations, accuracy requirements or other preset conditions.(5) Once the PSO algorithm meets the termination conditions, it outputs the global optimal value, which represents the optimal number of neurons in the hidden layer.This value will be used as a key parameter for subsequent DBN model training.( 6) DBN model training.The optimal number of hidden layer neurons determined by PSO algorithm will be used as the hidden layer configuration of DBN model, and then the DBN model will be trained.This step may involve supervised learning with fault data, so that the model can accurately identify power grid faults.(7) Output of fault diagnosis results.After completing the training of DBN model, the model will be used to identify and predict power grid faults.Finally, through this process, the identification results of power grid faults are output, which provides guidance for subsequent fault treatment and maintenance.
This framework integrates data preprocessing, PSO and DBN to effectively diagnose and predict power grid faults and improve the accuracy and robustness of power system faults.
